"Sunlight Is the Best Disinfectant"

I never, ever thought I'd say this, but go, Sean Hannity! I just watched a clip from Hannity and Colmes (which is shocking in itself) where they both attacked a crazy woman from Fred Phelps' church. If you've never heard of Fred Phelps, well, count your blessings. He's the gay-bashing "pastor" who encourages his flock to picket funerals with signs like "Fags Burn in Hell" and "Thank God for AIDS." His equally crazy daughter tried to defend their church, while Hannity and Colmes took turns tongue-lashing her. She ranted on and on, proving herself even scarier than Carrie White's mom.

It's so rare for me to applaud Sean, I just had to write about it. But really what's true is true, no matter who says it. I'm not conceited enough to think everyone I disagree with is always wrong about everything. Nobody's wrong 100% of the time, or right 100% of the time. The only way to avoid mistakes is to have no opinions, claims, beliefs, etc. at all, and then I think you'd be dead.

The subject line is a quote from the show. That crazy lady reminded me of Holocaust deniers: let them all talk, I say. If you try to suppress them, it looks like you have something to hide. So you want to be open and expose their lies.

I swear, my sister will stop reading this blog if I don't get more exciting soon. It's just that the stuff I'm interested is usually boring to other people, and vice versa. In high school, I wrote in my journal that people couldn't talk about anything but the prom, which I didn't give a shit about. It's lonely being a nerd, ha ha.
